    Appendix B IEEE 802.1Q Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) A Local Area Network (LAN) can generally be defined as a broadcast domain. Hubs, bridges or switches in the same physical segment or segments connect all end node devices. End nodes can communicate with each other without the need for a router.

    VLAN membership properties. A ‘U’ for a given port means that packets leaving the switch from that port will be Untagged. Inversely, a ‘T’ for a given port means that packets leaving the switch from that port will be tagged with the respective VLAN ID in which it participated in.
  • Page 33 The following scenarios will produce results as described below: (1). If an untagged packet enters Port 1, the switch will tag it with a VLAN tag value 10. The packet will have access to Port 2 and Port 3. The outgoing packet will be stripped away its tag becoming an untagged packet as it leaves Port 2.

  • Page 37: Appendix D Cabling Guidelines

    Appendix D Cabling Guidelines This appendix provides specifications for cables used with a NETGEAR Smart Switch Series Switch. Fast Ethernet Cable Guidelines Fast Ethernet uses UTP cable, as specified in the IEEE 802.3u standard for 100BASE-TX.The specification requires Category 5 UTP cable consisting of either two-pair or four-pair twisted insulated copper conductors bound in a single plastic sheath.

  • Page 38: Category 5 Cable

    Smart Switch Series Software Manual Category 5 Cable Category 5 distributed cable that meets ANSI/EIA/TIA-568-A building wiring standards can be a maximum of 328 feet (ft.) or 100 meters (m) in length, divided as follows: 20 ft. (6 m) between the hub and the patch panel (if used) 295 ft.

    The crossover function is usually implemented internally as part of the circuitry in the device. Computers and workstation adapter cards are usually media-dependent interface ports, called MDI or uplink ports. Most repeaters and switch ports are configured as media-dependent interfaces with built-in crossover ports, called MDI-X or normal ports. Auto Uplink technology automatically senses which connection, MDI or MDI-X, is needed and makes the right connection.

  • Page 40: Patch Panels And Cables

    Smart Switch Series Software Manual Figure D-2 illustrates crossover twisted pair cable. Figure D-2: Crossover Twisted-Pair Cable Patch Panels and Cables If you are using patch panels, make sure that they meet the 100BASE-TX requirements. Use Category 5 UTP cable for all patch cables and work area cables to ensure that your UTP patch cable rating meets or exceeds the distribution cable rating.

    Return loss measures the amount of reflected signal energy resulting from impedance changes in the cabling link. The nature of 1000BASE-T renders this measurement very important; if too much energy is reflected back on to the receiver, the device does not perform optimally.
